That distinguished novelist who wrote
"Indiana" and "ConsueIo," was fond of
walking about Paris attired in mans
clothing. It was weakness to which no
one paid attention; as Georges Sand was
an erratiC woman of genius, and geniuses
have a free charter to do things which
would cause the social ostracism of minor
mortals. The conduct of the celebrated
writer has lately been initiated by French
women, who have rather scandalized even
easy-gOing and unpuritaniCal Parisians bY
appearing in public clad in masculine coss
tune. The greatest sinner in this respect
has been q Nine. Dieulefoy, q lady who
was not long ago decorated with the Lee
gIoI of Honor for her intrepid travels
and explorations, in company with her
husband in the east oAe appeared in a
fashionable thester the other night
dressed as a fearfully and wonderfully
got-up "dude," with Mephistophelian
boots and pair of inexpressibles made
according to the latest spring fashions.
To complete her personal mise-en-sCene
she wore the ribbon with which she had
been recently decorated. Rumor has it
that the project OF police, shocked at the
prevailing taste for trousers eVinced by
the fair seX-a taste which reached
its spogee when the lady alluded
to posed SIS q superChiC in the theater-
has furnished up an old legal weapon
which was first manufactured in the ninth
year of the first republic and improved
upon in 1851. This empowers the police
TO srrest any woman found wearing male
apparel, out of carnival time, unless she
be in possession of certificate signed
by the proper authorities 70 the effect
that she uses mans costume for purposes
of health. Nine. Dieulafoy NAV have
had such q permission as g traveller, but
she was sadly to blame for making her
self so conspicuous by appearing in 8
boz at the theater arrayed like an
ultra-Chic.

Of all. Anti Prohibitionists gave money
and encouragement to the entertainment
of Prohibitionists last week, and on the
Goth inst. the entertainment of anti-Pro-
hibitionists at Fort Worth should be made
successful and worthy of the city, by the
aid and encouragement of Prohibitionists.
The unity of purpose and concert Of
action among the people of Fort Worth
in all matters affecting the progress and
good name of the city are an actual stock
in trade worth more to Fort Worth than
even its own people realize. When visi-
tors see that men waive opinions and
prejudices to unite on hospitality that
affects the city's reputation, they can
but be impressed favorsbly, not only
with the splendid spirit of our people but
with the results that must inevitably be
accomplished with such spirit IS the in
spiratien and the agency.
This snti-prohiOition rally will attract
men from all sections of Texas. Desiring
to emulate, If not to surpass, their prohi-
bition opponents, they will gather here in
great numbers. They will be men of in
telligence meeting to listen to some Of
the greatest orators IN the stste, and Fort
Worth will honor itself in Its hospitable
reception of them. THE GAZETTE knows
that the year has been fruitful
of happy results to Fort Worth; the fame
of this city has during 1877 been sounded
to wider limits and placed on more en-
during foundation than ever before, and
this paper, working first, last and all the
time for Fort Worth, knows that good
will come to it's city from the grand anti
prohibition rally of the 26th inst. And
this paper has no fears that the patriotism
and loyalty of local anti-Prohibitionists
as displayed last week will not be met
by an equal display of patriotism and
loyalty on the part of local Prohibi-
tionists in this grand rally on the Goth.
i-Prohibitionists of Texas, you will
be welcome to the Queen City of our com
mon state, whether you come by hun
dreds, thousands or tens of thousands.

THERE was some oversight on the part Of
the local committee charged with arranging
for quarters for the teachers now attending
the convention. This is to be regretted in
view of the usual success which Dallas has in
providing for all large gatherings, There Is
little excuse for such lack of system as is now
shown, and It may as well be said that In fu-
ture all calculations should be made On bus
mess basis Dallas News.
There was no such "Oversight" when
Dallas sert 8 committee to Fort Worth
to csjole the editors of Texas away from
this city; but then, the teachers have
"no newspapers of general circulation. 4"
Dallas does now make all it's "Cslculs-
tions on a business basis" and that is
why the teachers were invited to Dallas
and left to "hire hall" for themselves.

contest. In late issue the Waco Exam

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.


The Fourth of July is pretty generally
observed throughout the south and the
day will grow more popular as time
passes. 1t should be the greatest day in
the calendar, for it revives memories
which should fill the American heart
with glory and pride. In the busy rush
of life, people who are enjoying the
blessings of free government seldom
stop to inquire at what price these bless
ings were purchased, or by whom. Find
ing the government as it IS, at their
birth, they seem TO imagine
that these things always ex-
listed and accept them as
a matter of course, forgetting that it is
little more than century since a people
were found bold enough to proclaim and
fight for the reinforcement Of kings snd q
transfer of sovereignty TO the people.
While America was not the first republic
in name, she was the first in fact; the
first to throw aside the Cobwebs of pre-
JUDGE and hereditary manworship, and
teach each citizen that in him resided as
much sovereignty inherently as in any
king; the first TO teach man to
worship nothing but virtue and
to fear nothing but dishonor, and
the first to build sturdy manhood that
bowed not to kings, censors, tribunes or
princes. In fact, the first to clothe the
citizen in real liberty. Our young people
should be taught and reminded of these
things at least once every twelve months.
The ridicule sometimes heaped upon
"spresd eagle" speakers should not deter
and again. The Declaration Of Indepen-
dence should be read and explsined, to-
gether with the history of those illus
trious heroes whose names adorn it,
and in this way keep alive the
hres of patriotism which should
burn brightly and necessarily. If
more attention were paid to the study of
our form of government, it's history and
early struggles, there would be fewer
Anglo msniacs and disconnected people
IN our midst. a knowledge of history
and fair comparison between this coun-
try and its government and other couu-
tries and their government will satisfy
anyone that it is good to be here and
misfortune to be elsewhere. 1t will con-
vince us that whatever faults we may find
or imagine, we find are the result of po-
Iiticsl sstheticism that thrives and exists
only where full civil liberty resides.
People should set apart this day at least
to a study of our government and It's
blessings, Wars drive people together,
but this is not warning age. Love of
country should be taught,

THE Texas Chautauqus is located at
San Marcos, in Hays county, and the
third annual session begins August 6
next, and continues to September fol-
lowing. The assembly is chartered in
stitution, meant to popularize education,
cultivate the social sympathies of the
people of Texas, assist in furthering the
ends of the great moral and religious
movements of the state and provide a
Christian Summer Home for all. During
August, q varied and interesting pro-
gramme, consisting of lectures, musical
and literary entertainments and popular
instructions in many departments of edu-
ca,ionsl work will be presented. The
literary features of the assembly are
daily lectures on literary and scientific
subjects and general educational topics.
Some of the foremost men of Texas and
other states will have places or this pro-
gramme. The following are some of the
departments proposed: a School of
Practical Geology with special reference
to the formations of Texas; School of
Microscopy; a School of Astronomy; a
Teachers Retreat of seven days, with
lectures on teaching by the president of
the State Normal School; School of
Music vocal.

A MASSACHUSETTS journal suggests 8
reduction of meat rations to its over
crowded people, urging that "men and
women who work hard would be gamers
if they eat less meat. The notion that
there is nothing so strengthening
and healthful as beef has been
quite thoroughly exploded by ply
sicians. In hot weather, especially,
it is better for all to eat meat
but once day. 1t may be remarked also
that the country is growing in population
more than twice as fast as the amount of
beef is increasing. In few years it may
be necessary for those of small incomes
TO forego meat to large extent, willy
nilly-or else est horse-steak as they do
in France, from which fate angels and
ministers Of grace defend u.s."

SEASnNARLE WORnH-

The Boston Journal makes another vigorous
and logical protest against pauper immigration
taking the right ground regarding It's baneful
effects. The journal says:
The officers of the government report that
there is a falling off this year of over 20 per
cent. of farmers, mechanics and trained work
ers compared with previous years. This means
that thousands of people are coming to our
shores to crowd the already cOngested Centers
Of common or unsBilled labor. Con-
tract labor, which the law prohibits, would be
bad enough, but the present invasion is by
those for whom there is no labor and who have
not the means OF self support. The matter is of
great interest TO all, bit is of greater Importance
10 laboring people than to others. the
greatest calamity which can befall this country
IS a superabundance of ignorant and cheap
labor-so cheap that Its wages will not afford
with good habits, the common comfort OF life
Commenting on this utterance of
the Journal, another Massachusetts
paper says:
We are glad to see this cause taken up with
SO much earnestness by a newspaper of such
wide influence and conservative tendency-a
newspaper, moreover, that cannot be accused
of the least tendency toward demagogism.
It's intelligent readers-those that look at
things present and to come rather than to
things that are past-wIll be gratifed to learn
that a strong influence Will be brought to bear
upon Congress to give this matter It's first at.
tention. As the Journal remarks this is a mat.
ter of specialimportance to the labOring classes
of this country. Had It been attended to five
years ago, 1t would have saved good many
strikes and lockouts and given the wOrkingmen
a better chance IN the competition of trade.

THE Dallas News is working "the Fort

worth" But the News, with a shriveled
localism most Commendable from a Dal-
las standpoint, fails to say that the
drinking water supply of Fort Worth is
one thing and the water for fire and
lawn purposes is another thing. The
drinking water of Fort Worth is not
only ample for 100000 people, but it is
pure ard clean. The News dares not
deny this or assert that the drinking
water supply of Fort Worth is no better
than that Of Dallas, which impression it
seeks to convey by innuendo and in

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?

Yesterday THE GAZETTE received the
following written on white newspaper
without date or signature and enclosed
in Baltimore American envelope, with
railroad postmark. THE GAZETTE does
not believe that Grover Cleveland ever
held any such conversation as that re
ported and that this is only one of the
methods now being employed by some
one to destroy Clevelsnd's chances for
denomination. The story embodies a
great truth, but Grover Cleveland did
not relate the story which is so pregnant
with a valuable hint to the Democracy.
IL was put into his mouth to iDjure him
because it contains great truth:
This Is the way the President summed up the
recent Kentucky Democratic convention In
conversation with a Democratic Senator 8
short time ago. The Senator possibly had not
seen the President since that much talked
about convention, and in the course OF a gen
eral political talk he remarked "By the way
Mr.. President, have never known what to
make of that Kentucky convention. At fl st
there seemed to be strong opposition TO yoG,
but afterward your administration was com
mended. How do l understand that"
simplest thing in the world" replied the
president; 81 Will illustrate 1t by telling you
story.
"Once there was boy fishing on a wharf and
be tumbled overheard and was about to be
drowned. A crowd collec ed on the shore AMI
watched his struggles, but none of them moved
hand TO save him. Finally a man rushed
past the crowd to the wharf and boldly plum
ing IA pulled the half drowned boy out. The
crowd gathered around him with deep in
terest.
"Your son, of course. sir" said one.

"Your brother them"

"Then why in heavens name did you risk
your own life to save his"

had all the bait in his pocket, was the non
chalent reply.

cluded the President. 81 had all the bait ana
